Tourists at a natural history museum are marveling at some dinosaur bones. One of them asks a guard,
"Can you tell me how old the dinosaur bones are?"
The guard replies, "They are 65,11 years old."
"That's an awfully exact number," says the tourist.

"How do you know their age so precisely?"
The guard answers, "Well, the dinosaur bones were 65,000,000 years ofl when I started working here, and that was 11 years ago."
